Most righteous dude

The Fesenko  goes to… Ricky Rubio.

Ricky Rubio is kind of my hero. He caught grief for much of the season from fans and pundits alike, but quietly went about his business of getting better nonetheless. By year’s end, he was a key cog in one of the greatest turnarounds in league history and the Jazz’s undisputed floor general.

Rubio may be even better off the floor. He’s super involved in the local community, he’s a champion for cancer research and he takes every opportunity to tell the world how great it is to be a Jazzman.

He’s very popular, Ed. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, waistoids, dweebies, dickheads — they all adore him. They think he’s a righteous dude.
